- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The Taoiseach told the Irish Independent today that the Government plans to create 75,000 jobs by taking people off the dole. I am all for giving people hope, but not on the back of false promises. It would seem that, instead of job creation, people must realise that work actually pays.

- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The Government's Action Plan for Jobs was announced 18 months ago and has been re-announced quite a few times since. It was due to create 100,000 jobs by 2016.

- Council of the European Union (Lithuanian Presidency): Motion (17 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: Fianna Fáil will be supporting this motion. At the outset, I extend my best wishes to the Lithuanian Government and the Lithuanian people on taking up the Presidency of the Council of the European Union for the first time. As the Tánaiste is aware from his experience over the past six months, it is a great honour to lead the Council of the European Union. It is also a great...
- Council of the European Union (Lithuanian Presidency): Motion (17 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: Our two countries have much in common, including our size, our history of struggling towards independence and our peripheral geographical location on the European continent.
